Question

def scene3():
    print("After you defeated the Giant Spider you encounter a Dark Dragon do you want to Attack or Run:? ")
    encounter = input("Do you want to attack the Dragon?: [Attack/Run]")

    if encounter.strip().lower() == "Attack":
        print("You Attack the Dark Dragon and DIED apparently this rare monster is to much for you game over")
        quit()

    elif encounter.strip().lower() =="Run":
        print("You successfully outrun the Dark Dragon and landed in a Capital City in Magical World")
        time.sleep(delay2)

output:

After you defeated the Giant Spider you encounter a Dark Dragon do you want to Attack or Run:? 
Do you want to attack the Dragon?: [Attack/Run]run

You lower case a string and then check against strings with upper case. Try changinge "Attack" to "attack" and etc. — tdelaney, Aug 31 '22 at 03:57
Just do `encounter = encounter.strip().lower()` once, then compare `encounter` to `"attack"` and `"run"`, etc. — Tim Roberts, Aug 31 '22 at 04:01
Another hint: According to Pythons documentation [`quit`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#quit) is useful for the interactive interpreter shell and should not be used in programs. — Matthias, Aug 31 '22 at 06:07

Your if and else condition should check for string with lowercase when using lower.().

Please change the code to this:

import time

delay2 = 5

def scene3():
    print("After you defeated the Giant Spider you encounter a Dark Dragon do you want to Attack or Run:? ")
    encounter = input("Do you want to attack the Dragon?: [Attack/Run]")

    if encounter.strip().lower() == "attack":
        print("You Attack the Dark Dragon and DIED apparently this rare monster is to much for you game over")
        quit()

    elif encounter.strip().lower() == "run":
        print("You successfully outrun the Dark Dragon and landed in a Capital City in Magical World")
        time.sleep(delay2)

scene3()

O/P:

$ python3 test.py
After you defeated the Giant Spider you encounter a Dark Dragon do you want to Attack or Run:?
Do you want to attack the Dragon?: [Attack/Run]attack
You Attack the Dark Dragon and DIED apparently this rare monster is to much for you game over

$ python3 test.py
After you defeated the Giant Spider you encounter a Dark Dragon do you want to Attack or Run:?
Do you want to attack the Dragon?: [Attack/Run]run
You successfully outrun the Dark Dragon and landed in a Capital City in Magical World

Thank you so much it also solves my problem i need to change the string in lower case "Attack" - "attack" Thank you. — Cris Uy, Aug 31 '22 at 04:05
